I'm impressed how USA companies became untrustful. Maybe this comes since Snowden whistle blowing, but it looks like the tendency is accelerating.

The case of Nicolas Guillou was an eye opener for many.

    My first thought was that the sanctions are due to investigations into US presidents (like role of Bush in Second Gulf War or Obama/Clinton's role in Libyan Civil war) but it is due to Israel's PM. It's amazing how US admin is making their displeasure known in most destructive way (for their own and allies soft power) possible.

    You're implying that the Swiss government blames the American people for the decisions of the presidential seat, a seat with minimal actual power and three years left in office.

    I disagree with your guess. This judge was making a statement about how it's wrong for Netanyahu to judge the people of Gaza by its political leadership. It wouldn't make sense then for the Swiss government to judge the people of America by its political leadership. Such a hypocrisy would make the opposite political statement.

    I think it's most likely because of the recent AWS and Cloudflare outages having exposed the fragility of SaaS.

    I don't see any reason to project anti American sentiment onto the article where there was none.

that ICC sanction that turned off that judge's outlook will be seen as the trigger point for the US reliquinshing its total domination of services (cloud and otherwise)

prior to that the risk of the US regime turning off its allies IT systems was purely theoretical

national data protection agencies will now ban their companies from storing data in AWS, Azure on GCP (eagerly egged on by their local competitors)
